I understand well that this is a graphical representation of the code (and I find it really appealing to have this dual representation, rather than post-host visualization).

Though, as I imagine, such vis is at some point JavaScript code. (And one could potentially re-use this visualization (not - abstraction) tool for showin arbitrary diagrams with data lookups, in this lovely style.)

Oh, I understand what you mean now. My mistake! It is all displayed on Canvas at this point, which does go through JavaScript. We’re actually moving to our own WebGL-based canvas (BaseGL) for performance.
It would actually be nice to have more node visualization toolsets for other projects with visual programming in mind out in the open =)
